Olympics!

OL, Olympics, or whatever you want to call them!! No matter what, I love them, that's for sure! It's the 5th time in my life that the Olympics is here, Atlanta in 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, and now London 2012! Yes man, I am excited! In my Family, handball has always been the big sport! I grew up dreaming about the Olympics, the first 3 Olympics in my life time (1996, 2000 and 2004) the danish national team in handball (women) was the olympic gold medalists! That was what we all wanted to be, an olympian! These women was and meant everything for us little handball girls, they was the coolest people!
Well a lot of us had to realize that the Olympics was out of reach, but that didn't stop us from keep fighting! Their are girls, girls I grew up training with and competing with who I wouldn't be surprised to see playing at the Olympics in 4 maybe 8 years, and that is great, you feel proud of them! In Denmark, handball is the biggest sport between girls, and every 4 years 14 girls get to go, (if they even qualify)! And their is 1000, and 1000 of girls who wants to be one of those 14, so the chances are very slim, but there are just some who is that much better than the rest!
Well back to the Olympics! We watch handball, that is kind of our favorite in my family! But we love to watch everything else, you now sailing, swimming, and track! But gymnastics has my heart! I love that sport, there is something superpowered over it! I used to do gymnastics, but not on the same level as the them on tv (NOT AT ALL)! So I guess all be glued to the tv, when gymnastics and handball is on! <3
So good luck everybody at the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, Good Luck Denmark, and America! Especially good luck to the Danish National Team in Handball (men and women) and good luck to the U.S. Artistic Gymnastic Team <3
